"The house is very beautiful. We felt like we were at our own home. Also Jordan is very sweet and helpful. We had a great time together during our stay. The house is located on the peninsula, which is the most beautiful place in Kaş. You can also use the sea, which is clean and a short distance from the villa. If you come with your own vehicle, it is very easy to get everywhere. It was a place we would definitely visit when we come back to Kaş. We recommend it to everyone."

Amazing villa in Kas with an unreal view & sunset. We enjoyed the breathtaking view at the pool during the day and were able to work remotely (wifi worked well) in the evening. The hosts were what made the stay truly memorable. They were easy to communicate with, answered all of our questions, gave us recommendations and even left us some delicious ratatouille. Would definitely come back and stay here again and recommend to anyone!
